Almost nothing works for me. Or when I find something that works, it seems to stop working after a few months. So this is about as good as it gets for me, as a consistently almost perfect antiperspirant/deodorant. The instructions say to apply at night before bed, but never say anything about those of us who shower in the morning. If I shower but avoid washing under my arms (I'm not dirty--I also ...read moreshower in the evening after the gym, before I put this on), it almost always works well enough for me to be satisfied. If I forget I put this on and soap up under my arms like I normally would, it still works, but with noticeably decreased effectiveness. If I need to shave under my arms in the morning after applying this? Forget it--I wasted my time putting it on because it's not going to work at all in this case. I've found what works best for me is to put this on at night as directed, but to also apply the clear gel Secret (or one of the other 3 or 4 deodorants I keep on my dresser) in the morning as backup. That seems to be pretty effective. — 2 years, 2 months ago

Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant is the only deodorant that works for me. This keeps me dry and smelling fresh all day. My 15 year old daughter only uses this product as well.

I bought this deodorant after Secret decided to discontinue Smooth effects, and it's replacement Outlast & Olay turned out to be completely ineffective. Secret Clinical Strength works well- lasts all day, and the scent (mine is light and fresh) is good, not too overpowering. I'm not sure why Secret recommends applying it before going to bed, I wish they explained it. I apply the deodorant in the m...read moreorning after shower, cause it feels better that way. I feel like one/one and a half click is enough to last a day without re-application. Secret Clinical doesn't leave marks on clothes, doesn't rub off.
I like the packaging (it reminds me of the smooth effects so much))). The downsides are- the tube is very small (1.6oz), and very expensive. I got Clinical Strength in bulk, and with a huge discount, so it's ok, but I'm really not sure it's worth those 8-10$ they sell it for. It's good, but not THAT good. That's why I'm taking 2 stars off. I guess, Secret decided to discontinue their good deodorants or change formulas in less expensive products, to just make money on these.
So I can only recommend this product if you get to buy it at a lower price.— 3 years, 1 month ago

Apparently Clinical Strength is the new "it formula" in which all deodorant/antiperspirant companies are heavily marketing and most of them tend to be in the same price point, about $8-$12. These are pretty small sticks for that money, which means we're actually spending more each time we replace it, because one stick doesn't last a month. I find that this product works best when I layer it with a...read more product that isn't meant to be applied at night. The whole night application is very weird to me. I don't want to be applying it twice a day, that doesn't feel clean to me, so I do what works best for my body chemistry. I think all of the Clinical Strength products should be reduced by a few dollars. — 2 years, 11 months ago

This deodorant does it's job. I like Certain-Dri better (and I use that instead now) since it's wetness control is a bit stronger but if you have sensitive skin then I'd use this instead. It won't keep you quite as dry for as long but it won't irritate skin. It will keep you dry, it smells nice, & works well on sensitive skin.

This is the only anti-perspirant/deoderant I use, as it's the only thing that really works for me. I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason I tend to sweat a lot, and I was always getting these embarrassing wet stains under my arms. I no longer have that problem with this product. I've tried to go back to other regular antiperspirants, but I always come back to this one. I wish it cam...read moree in a clear formula, as sometimes I have to wipe off excess product before I get dressed, and I'm not crazy about the the way it dispenses, but it works, so I'm willing to forgive that. — 3 years, 11 months ago

This is the anti-perspirant/deodorant that I use regularly. I like the fact that the scent is light and I don't feel like it is competing with my perfume as some others do. I find that it does come off on clothes if you don't give it a minute to dry but that has only happened to me once...lesson learned. I am a runner and I sweat, yes I know it is gross but it happens! I need a product that is ...read moregoing to work and work well to avoid the stinkiness and the moisture issues associated with a lot of physical activity. This product does what it says and I have been faithfully purchasing it since my first tube when it initially debuted. As for putting it on at night, I sometimes put it on after a bath or second shower in the evenings but I typically use it every morning. I know the theory of body temperature overnight is supposed to be one of its main features but it works just as well for me in the morning! The only reason I took off a star is due to the price. I do feel that it is a bit expensive but if it works, what can you do? — 3 years ago

I did put it to the test by standing outside as Pam The Dairy Cow made a visit to the kids at my library and I stood outside for almost an hour. Upon checking, i really didn't shed a DROP of sweat. The weird thing was, that it doesn't seem to affect SMELL, so at the end of the day, I'm dry as a bone but have more pit aroma than using my Evan's Garden all natural powder deodorant. What's the point if you still smell? That ain't right.
